If your region receives little snow per year, you don’t have to worry about the condition of your country house in winter.

But if we consider the abundance of precipitation in the realities of our country, then a large amount of snow can become a problem.

Removing snow from your roof becomes a routine but important task that is best done on a regular basis.

Otherwise, the damage may be quite unpleasant and costly.

  1. Clear a place where snow will fall from the roof.
  2. Check the condition of the stairs from which you will be working.
  3. Secure the safety rope to the back of the building.
  4. Check the condition of the tools.

It is better to distribute fallen snow evenly over the area, for example, in the vegetable garden. High, compacted mountains of snow take a long time to melt in the spring.
